Cobbs PY - 2021 CY - Lausanne, Switzerland PB - Peter Lang Verlag SN - 0721-3301 TI - The Image of America in Postwar German Literature: Reflections and Perceptions UR - https://www.peterlang.com/document/1071158 N2 - This study examines the German perception of America in postwar works of prose, drama, and non-fiction. In viewing works by Brecht, Frisch, Koeppen, Weiss, and others, against the traditional utopian picture of America popularized in the nineteenth century, Professor Cobbs shows how a critical image of the USA has evolved in response to America's economic and social structure. Particular emphasis is given to America's postwar role in world power politics. LA - English ER -
